Did something for the first time tonight......

Tig welded copper, amazingly easy. couldn't find my solder so thought what about the Tig.
It was a 22 to 15mm reducer and the 2 just flowed right together without any filler!!

Haf to usee a LOT of juice compared to MS though

Never tried autogenous welding copper, great with MS and SS.
Loads of power prob due to the thermal conductivity of Cu.
